This happened a lot to me. On one of my arcs I lost some great changes to some text and I had to re-write them all and they came out not as good. |

I found that by waiting until the chatbox gave me the "[arc] has been republished" message and then closing the whole AE window and then re-opening it actually saved the changes. I think for some reason it has to reload the newly-saved version and just clicking republish doesn't do it for some reason, if you reopen it from the same window you get the version the window loaded up with (meaning the pre-fix one). It's a weird sort of bug but at least there is a way around it.

Yeah, I find re-searching for it also works. But it is a bother, just like the other strange MA errors like when you tag text sometimes it randomly tags multiple sections of the text at once instead of just the highlighted part. That's the most annoying for me, because sometimes you accidentally delete line breaks when you're deleting the tags so that means you have delete all the tags, add the line breaks and start the tagging from scratch. Perseverence is required in most aspects of MA :P

Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.
Alright, I was not able to run it with a team, but fortunately something along those lines ended up playing my arc. A character who I assumed was exemplared from 50 with all the bells and whistles, had their difficulty affected so they were the equivalent of eight people completed the arc. As I understand it, that individual only had difficulty defeating the Archvillain (that was it's true form because of the difficulty equivalent of the character) and had to get assistance from another player in order to complete it.
So, as I understand it, a single Level 50 can complete my arc representing an 8-man team up to the AV at the end, where they need one other player to finish it off. So, although it may have been unbalanced for a large team before...it certainly isn't now. I will be marking it Final and submitting it tonight, in the meantime I'm still looking for any final feedback.

I've updated the arc after further testing so:
1) I didn't even realise this was the case as I never noticed before in my earlier playthroughs, but I changed the number of HMVs in Mission 2 down to 1.
2) I changed every single custom enemy so their powersets are some combination of Standard/Hard or Hard/Standard to get rid of some nastier abilities like Aim, Build Up, Carrion Creepers etc. I also changed Earth Mother and Earth Progenitor back to Earth Control/Thorny Assault and Plant Control/Earth Assault respectively.
While this will reduce the xp given out, it hopefully won't be to an overwhelming extent. In regards to whether I'm going to open it up to wider levels, if anything, I might reduce it to 5-9 as this arc was designed to be given by Mr. Bocor. And 5-9 is his level range. That might sound crazy, but well, I'm crazy.
